$\frac{12}{3} = 4$ guests per table

Step2: Calculate tables for 20 guests

Divide 20 by the guest-per-table ratio.
$\frac{20}{4} = 5$

Step3: Calculate tables for 28 guests

Divide 28 by the guest-per-table ratio.
$\frac{28}{4} = 7$

Step4: Calculate guests for 8 tables

Multiply 8 by the guest-per-table ratio.
$8 \times 4 = 32$

Step5: Calculate tables for 40 guests

Divide 40 by the guest-per-table ratio.
$\frac{40}{4} = 10$

Answer:

Number of guests	12	20	28	32	40
